Speaker 1 (00:07):
And we're back to the Craigway Show. Have a message
for Craig, share it by using the talkbacks feature on
the iHeartRadio app. Georgia and Notre Dame still tied up
at three apiece in the All Stage Sugar Bowl, about
to get to halftime. Here, Georgia would force a Notre
Dame punt, but Notre Dame would then force a Georgia punt,
(00:30):
so the Iris getting the ball back with about three
minutes to go in the second quarter. Both teams have
three timeouts, both teams only with three points real quick
before we get to some more postgame sound courtesy of
Will Matthews and Longhorn Radio Network. Stat from Jael Goodrich,
my colleague and good friend at burn Origination dot com,
I mentioned that Matthew Golden needed only needs only fifty
(00:53):
six yards to reach the one thousand yard mark this season. Well,
he's already at ten touchdowns. So if Golden gets that
and a touchdown against Ohio State, so sixty four yards
and a touchdown, he will be the first Texas receiver
to have one thousand yards in ten touchdowns since Jordan
(01:15):
Shipley in two thousand and nine. They've had a couple
one thousand yard receivers in the last thirteen years, had
a couple ten touchdown years, but never one thousand and
ten touchdowns since two thousand and nine. Matthew Golden was
actually sorry sixty four yards in a touchdown against Ohow State.
Will be the first receiver since Jordan Shipley in two
(01:38):
thousand and nine to accomplish that fee. And let's hear
from him, Matthew Golden, who had the game tying touchdown
and the go ahead two point conversion in double overtime.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Matthew, you've heard everything that he said. You played the
game us through your feelings from the beginning all the
way to the end. Adversity didn't stop you do.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, just just being with my brothers on the field,
you know, and having God first, you know, so just
knowing that in this game, we know it's gonna be
a hard fare battle, you know, sixty minutes, so you know,
just just keeping faith in God and having my brothers
with me, just knowing that that whenever adversity comes, we
got to strike back the right way, and that's what
we did.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Having sure hands is super important, and tonight you were
very sure handed. Talk me through what's going on your
mind when the balls in the air and you gotta
do your thing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You know, just just just looking at it as like
that's the that's the only opportunity that you'll get for
the rest of the game, you know, So treating that
one play like that's gonna be your last play. Just
telling myself that, you know, I got to make the
play regardless of what the dB is, you know, and
props to quit in the whole line, giving him enough time,
you know, to deliver the ball to me in the.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Right at the right time.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Man, you got started off really really fast early on,
and then after that some adversity and some things happen.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Can you walk us through what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
In the first quarter moving on into the safe you.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Know, just trying to find rhythm as an offense. You know,
then we came out, you know, we started finding a
little rythm and then we got going, you know, so
just like I said, just being together as an offense
and just knowing that, you know, every play not gonna
go the right way, so coming back in and just
regrouping and then just just going down the field at
one play at a time.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Man, Matt Sarkos talks about resilience that you guys really
put that to the test.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
What's the mindset when all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They've got the lead, you're looking at at fourth and
thirteen with your season.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
On the line. I mean that just got back to
the summer workouts we had with coach back, you know,
them seven quarter runs, anything that we had to do
as a team. You know, that's just putting our back
against the wall. You know, we like it that way.
You know, we don't want it any other way. So
just knowing that we're gonna count on each other in
times like that and we're gonna come out on top
whatever we gotta do.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Did you have a view of Macoba's interception. Oh yeah,
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That was not that was not exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Inclamation point right there, Matthew, Thank you so much appreciation.
He enjoyed this one.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I see you in Dallas. Yeah, let's do it. And
it wasn't just the touchdown and overtime and the two
point conversion. There is that fourth and two in the
first half. My goodness, a gutsy play call. I couldn't
believe Quinton threw that ball to the boundary on the
left side. Of the field on fourth down, it was
(04:12):
converted and ultimately Texts would have to settle for a
field goal. But there's that chemistry between Quinn and Matthew Golden.
They have moments like that where it's like, Okay, that's
the Queen yours, that's the big game, Quinn, that's the
Queen Ewers that I think scouts the NFL level say, okay,
he can be a first round quarterback because he delivers
a ball as like that that one the fourth and
thirteen and the ball the gunner help able to navigate
(04:35):
the pocket, step up, fire at dart, get the touchdown,
put Texas up, and then to throw the Matthew Golden
in double overtime thirty nine thirty one and the rest,
as they say, is history. So what a performance for
Matthew Golden against sixty four yards away in a touchdown,
for being the first Texas wide out tep one thousand
yards in ten touchdowns in one season since Jordan Shipley
(04:55):
in two thousand and nine. And Golden may only play
one year Texas, but shout out the transfer portal because
he's going to leave a legacy here in Austin for
years to come and Ultimately, if Texas can find a
way to Atlanta for the third time this year, it'll
be a big part. A big reason why is because
of Matthew Golden and his relationship with Quinn. Yours more
(05:19):
than come here on the Craig Way Show. We still
have some postgame sound from Alfred Collins, Gunner Heelm, and
Andrew mccooba. Update on this game at the All State
Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Still tied up at three apiece,
neither touch neither team wants to score a touchdown. We've
seen some good plays from Gunnar Stockton in Ryland or
(05:39):
Right now, Notre Dame does have the football. I believe
they are facing third down right now, they're nearer midfield.
I think it's third and one right now, tied up
at three apiece. Both teams with three timeouts just reached
the two minute time out as they call it, and
Leonard just got the first down on third and one
(06:00):
Notre Dame at midfield under two minutes. Tied up at
three apiece. The Fighting Irish will begin the second half
on offense in this matchup between the two seed and
the seventh seed with a shot at Penn State next week.
The winner of that, of course, will face will reach
the national championship and face the winner of Texas and
Ohio State. And by the way that Texas Ohio State game,
(06:22):
I believe for the first time all year, Texas will
be an underdog in this one. The line opening up
at Ohio State minus five and a half. I'm sorry
opened up at five. It has climbed the sixth, so
Ohio State almost a touchdown favorite over the Longhorns next
week at the College Football Playoffs semi final at the
Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic Morning, come here to the Craig
(06:44):
